Overhauled Vintage Chief Trashcan
Hey! Got a vintage Chief trashcan to reveal. I found it in an antiques and collectible shop and knew immediately it needed to be reworked and serve the same way it did before. Check it out!

The center lid lifts up to throw away your trash. The larger lid opens to change out the trash liner.

The bottom was open with just the support frame. So I fabricated a nice, solid base out of some wood and the use of some small corner braces.
